• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

I am new to blender . made a bridge the model looks ok in blender and textured , BUT
When I place the model its pink , Now I know for a fact I am doing something wrong ...

I used to make models in Sketchup for XP but now trying this new beast , not easy at my age .. :)

Hi Lawrence,

pink texture in the sim means that the sim is not able to find the texture in the texture folder (the texture folder should be inside your modelLib folder)
i have a little tutorial on object creation (very fast and basic)

First, the correct setup for your project:

Code: 
PackageSources\
-------- yourModelLibFolder\
------------------yourBridgeFolder\
--------------------- yourBridge.xml
--------------------- yourBridge.bin
--------------------- yourBridge.xml
--------------------- yourBridge.blen
-------- texture\
-----------asphalt_diff.png
-----------asphalt_comp.png
-----------asphalt_nml.png
----------- etc...

Next, you use in your blender file you are using some detail albedo/detail metallic texture (with the same texture of the pbr set), they are pretty uncommon in a normal scenery, I would just avoid them

Finally, your "comp" texture, you called them rough_ao , are probably wrong, for asphalt and concrete is pretty unlikely to have some metalness, (the blue channel shoud be black)
I've adjusted them for you

On export, remember to use "../texture" in the "Textures" textbox

this is your file with the my modifications (I've also made some uv uwrap to avoid texture stretching)

keep on the good work!!
